FORT COLLINS — With a straight face, Colorado State coach Jim McElwain said after Saturday's 58-13 win over Air Force that he thought injured CSU running back Kapri Bibbs might play the role of "decoy" as much as anything in Saturday's game.

Instead, Bibbs logged a team-high 16 carries and scored three touchdowns. He netted 79 yards, with a long of 20 yards.

McElwain told the media Wednesday that Bibbs was "highly doubtful" to play against the Falcons. Bibbs injured a foot a week earlier in a loss at Utah State.

"Kapri got only just three (practice) repetitions on Wednesday and then 14 on Thursday," McElwain said. "He showed toughness. He's the kind of playmaker this program needed."

With his three scores, Bibbs set a record for FBS (major-college) teams with seven games of three or more touchdowns in a season, according to CSU.

Bibbs also retook the lead nationally in rushing TDs for 2013 with 28. Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds has 26 with one game to play — Saturday against Army.

Bowl invitations will be released officially Dec. 8.

"I want to go to a bowl," Barrett said. "But I knew it wouldn't happen if our defense didn't come out and play great today. As a senior, it feels real good."

CSU offensive record falls. Colorado State amassed 629 yards of total offense and established a school record for total offensive yards in a season with 5,996. The previous record was 5,703 yards set in 2003, which also had a 13-game schedule, including a bowl game.

Almost nothing. Until scoring two touchdowns in the last 5:02 of the game, Air Force was in danger of being shut out for the first time in 258 games. The last time the Falcons put zero points on a scoreboard was a 13-0 loss to Mississippi in the 1992 Liberty Bowl. The late scoring also averted setting a mark for the widest margin of defeat. The record is a 49-0 loss to Notre Dame.

Rushing along. Air Force's streak of rushing touchdowns reached 59 games after an 11-yard scamper in the fourth quarter by quarterback Karson Roberts. It's the longest active streak in college football.
